Use case
Every episode becomes
text you can actually use
Show notes, subtitles, pull quotes and clips. From footage that never leaves your edit machine.

- Video editors

01The problem
Unreleased footage on someone else's servers
Uploading an unreleased episode to a transcription service means an embargoed interview now exists somewhere outside your control, before it has been cut, cleared or scheduled.
And for Philippine content the captioning problem is worse than most people notice: a Taglish episode auto-captioned into English reads as a translation of the conversation rather than a record of it, which makes the clips useless.
02What you get
Built around how you actually work
Footage stays on your machine
Transcription is local, so unreleased material never leaves the edit suite.
SRT and VTT for every cut
Subtitles export straight from the corrected transcript, with timings that follow your edits.
Show notes from the transcript
The Reviewer groups an episode into topics and key terms, quoted verbatim, which is most of a show-notes draft.
Find the clip
Timestamps make locating the exact moment of a good line a matter of clicking the line.
Taglish captions that read right
Code-switching is preserved, so the captions match the conversation your audience heard.
No length pricing
A three-hour episode costs the same as a ten-minute one, which is nothing.

04Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can it separate the host from the guest?
Not yet. Transcripts are timestamped but not attributed, so a two-person episode needs the turns marked during correction. Speaker labelling is on the roadmap.
How long can an episode be?
There is no imposed limit. Long files are read in chunks rather than loaded whole, so the practical ceiling is your own machine.
Do the subtitles follow my edits?
Yes. The export reads the corrected transcript, not the raw output, so fixing a line fixes the subtitle.
How do you know the recording is not uploaded?
Because there is nowhere for it to go. The speech model runs in your browser and the file is read off your own disk. You can watch it yourself: open your browser's network tab while a transcription runs and you will see no upload.
What does it cost?
Nothing, while we're testing it — no sign-up, no credit card, no daily limit. Your own computer does the processing. All we ask is feedback through the Give feedback button.

What we ask
Tell us what to fix
Use the Give feedback button at the bottom right of any page. It takes a minute and goes straight to the people building this.
- It crashed, froze or was slow on your computer
- It misheard words, or got Taglish wrong
- Something was confusing or hard to find
- A feature you wish it had
Feedback sends what you type plus basic browser info. After a transcription you can also rate its accuracy, and optionally share that transcript's text to help us fix mistakes — only if you tick the box. Recordings are never sent.
